psycholist Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 What's the story with the 116mm spaced 26" frames? Are these compatible with Mod bike hubs or something? What spacing do people prefer? Presumably the 116mm is singlespeed only? Are there advantages to choosing one over the other - presumably a singlespeed fixed 135mm hub will build a stronger wheel thanks to having the hub flanges further apart? Do you have to pick a different BB width depending on what frame spacing you choose to get the correct chainline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 135mm spacingpro 2rohloff= winneri really dont like the idea of a mod spaced stock with horizontal dropouts (i went to stock to get vertical dropouts(Y)) you loose out on hub spacing + rear triangle space so you probabl save a few grams but loose strenght, stick with 135m you get more choice of hubs to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padarik Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think you will loose strength on the actuall wheel build.wheel builds mainly down to the distance between the flanges tis why the deng hubs have wider distances. shorter axle means less flex and all that, sure ther was a topic on this earlyer this year when they first came out ?
